How Does Income Relate to Life Expectancy?

Short answer - Rich people live longer

ABOUT THIS VIDEO

In this short video Professor Hans Rosling shows that people live longer in countries with a high GDP per capita. No high income countries have short life expectancy, and no low income countries have long life expectancy. Still, there is a huge difference in life expectancy between countries on the same income level, depending on how the money is distributed and how it is used.
